I just wanna catch my fish, drive my truck, drink my beer

And not wake up to all this stuff I don′t want to hear

Like the same kind of gun I hunt with

just killed another man

When the only thing mine ever shot

was a deer from my deer stand

I just want to grow my corn, feed my dogs, wear my boots

Not turn the TV on, sit and watch the evenin' news

And be told if I tell my own daughter

that little boys ain′t little girls

I'll be up the creek in hot water

in this "cancel your ass" world

It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays

The direction the fingers point

when everything goes up in flames

Sayin′ I′m some right-wing devil 'cause I was small town

Jesus raised

It ain′t easy being country in this country nowadays

I just wanna cut my grass, watch my game, say my prayers

Not get a picture of a flag up in flames as people cheer

Yeah, the same one my grandaddy fought

for being stepped on like it's trash

And I′m a downright hateful monster

if I back the blue and badge

It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays

The direction the fingers point

when everything goes up in flames

Sayin′ I'm some right-wing devil 'cause I was red letter

Jesus raised

It ain′t easy being country in this country nowadays

All I do is mind my business, live my life the best I can

Try to be a real good husband

a real good daddy, a real good man

But because I have my morals and a small-town point of view

You assume that you don′t like me

means that I don't like you, too

It ain′t easy being country in this country nowadays

The direction the fingers point

when everything goes up in flames

Sayin' I′m some right-wing devil 'cause I was gospel

Jesus raised

It ain′t easy being country in this country nowadays

Mm, in this country nowadays
